The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published

that is used as the base for the initial containing block. The
goal of this specification is to make it easier to design
across devices with different viewport sizes. Learn more about
the Style Activity.

(Third) W3C Web and TV Workshop
http://www.w3.org/2011/09/webtv/
Hollywood, California
Hosted and Sponsored by Comcast
Following the success of its regional workshops in Tokyo,
Japan and Berlin, Germany, the W3C will host a third
workshop on Web and TV convergence in Hollywood, California
on 19-20 September, 2011. In the previous two workshops,
participants identified opportunities for convergence of
Web and TV infrastructure and began identifying technical
challenges. This third workshop will continue these
efforts, with a particular focus on the needs of content
creators and distributors.

W3C Workshop on Data and Services Integration
http://www.w3.org/2011/10/integration-workshop/
Bedford, MA, USA
Hosted by MITRE
Integration of heterogeneous data and services has always
been a concern for creators and managers of services. With
the emergence of the Web, the need for reusing data and
services has become even stronger as the number of
available services has grown. Different services stacks now
exist from Web Services to Cloud-based services.
The goal of this Workshop is to bring together people with
different ways of looking at the issues left unsolved by
the existing stacks, to investigate the possible paths to
help bridging services built using different paradigms, and
to identify points where standardization would help
integration of services and data.
* 2011-11-05 ( 5 NOV)
W3C Workshop on The Future of Off-line Web Applications
http://www.w3.org/2011/web-apps-ws/
Redwood City, CA, USA
Hosted by Vodafone
Off-line use of Web applications is one of the key missing
elements from the Web platform that application developers
require. The current fragmentation in this solution space
is creating confusion among would-be WebApp developers and
organizations who would otherwise invest in the Open Web
Platform. This workshop will examine requirements that can
be derived from the implementor and developer experiences,
with the goal of informing future standardization efforts.
